George Jetson was able to support his whole family off his single job working one hour a day, two days a week and his job was to just push a button.

The people in the past were Incredibly optimistic about the future.

I don’t know how relevant this is to you but I was looking at getting a Boox since it would easily let me read my Kindle and Kobo books on a single device without any hassle. However, it achieves this by running their apps so the books are segregated. There’s no one library with all your books. Your Kindle books are only on the Kindle app, your Kobo books are only on the Kobo app, your library books are only on the Libby app.

It sounded really tedious to have to flip between a bunch of different apps to track all my books so I decided to just stick with Kobo.

Her quote never really felt that outrageous. She wasn’t even calling all Trump supporters “deplorable”. Here’s her quote

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.” “Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.

That’s exactly what I thought as well from reading the headline. It definitely could have been worded better.

I thought it said “his shole had teeth” and it took me awhile to both notice the B and to really be it was for censorship.

Reminds me of the Trump supporter that was surprised when her undocumented husband got deported.

I don’t think you’d have prostitution in a currencyless society. They wouldn’t be prostitutes at that point.

What’s funny is the “blonde bombshell in a catsuit” turned out to be one of the best characters on the show.

Another use I haven’t seen mentioned is that it’s good when you only have a single monitor. You can easily use shortcut keys to flip between the desktops. I could have my remote connection to another computer in one desktop and my local stuff in another and easily switch between the two.

Sometimes it feels like I’m the only person who legitimately liked the first Super Mario Bros movie. I would regularly rewatch it when I would see it come on tv before I eventually recorded it so I could watch it whenever.

Biden is almost guaranteed to be the Democrat nominee. They aren’t going to do a serious campaign against their own incumbent.

The 2024 election is going to be Biden vs Trump unless one of them dies or goes to jail.

I’m the same. I watched about 1 min of one of her interviews and had to turn it off due to all the second hand embarrassment I was feeling.

I’m dying laughing at the image in my head about your scenario.

Gay Waiter: And what do you want?

You: I want some pasta fag.

Honestly that would be a rather funny scene in a time travel episode.

These articles pop up occasionally about people losing their jobs because it was revealed they have and OnlyFans account and I just don’t understand what all the fuss is about. This guy thinks he can’t be arrested because he saw her having sex with her husband!?! At least the Mayor seems to have a bit of common sense regarding this.

Transporters are inconsistent in how they work in Star Trek. The transporters work however the writers of the episode need it to work for the plot. Sometimes it’s a clone machine and sometimes it’s something else.

The Barclay episode I was referring to was Realm of Fear.

Create a way to merge both Yous together after and you have a pretty neat failsafe for away missions.

There was that one episode with Barclay that showed he was conscious during transport and also showed that people could exist inside the matter stream (or whatever the technobabble is).

I just created an account there and when it came time to add books, a whole bunch of books I read didn’t even show up. I’ll have to look more into it when I have more time.

It’s such a crazy display on just how advanced the Federation really is that a small group of rogue Star Fleet officers were able to successfully leapfrog the cloaking tech to such a degree. There was another episode where the Romulans tried and failed to create that same technology but I can’t remember if it was before or after Pegasus.

In DS9, a Vorta makes a comment about Star Fleet engineers being able to turn rocks into replicators and he really wasn’t that far off.
